Top 10 Most Powerful DC Characters

The DC Universe is home to some of the most powerful beings in all of comics. From Gods to interdimensional beings, these guys make Superman look like an ordinary guy. These are the most powerful characters in the DC Universe.

List Rank and Entries
#10: Parallax

Created by writer Ron Marz and artist Darryl Banks for Green Lantern vol. 3 #48 (January 1994), Parallax was originally devised as the new supervillain identity for then-former Green Lantern protagonist Hal Jordan.[1] After further changes for the Hal Jordan character over the subsequent years (sacrificing his life in order to reignite Earth’s Sun in the 1996 crossover storyline “The Final Night”, and Jordan’s soul subsequently becoming the newest host of the Spectre in the 1999 miniseries Day of Judgment), 2004’s Green Lantern: Rebirth once again cast Jordan as a heroic Green Lantern and explained Parallax as an ancient entity embodying the yellow light of fear which possessed Jordan and drove him to his villainous actions. Parallax was revealed to have been once imprisoned within the Central Power Battery on the planet Oa, from which all Green Lanterns derive their power, and was the reason for the necessary impurity that in the past rendered the rings useless against anything colored yellow.

In 2009, Parallax was ranked as IGN’s 92nd Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time.

#9: Doctor Manhattan

Doctor Manhattan, often shortened to Dr. Manhattan, is a fictional character who appears in comics published by DC Comics. He is considered the most powerful superhero for his wide variety of powers. He debuted in the graphic novel limited series Watchmen, published in 1986 and 1987. Doctor Manhattan was created by writer Alan Moore with artist Dave Gibbons.

The Watchmen series is noted for addressing metaphysical issues and questions, Doctor Manhattan being the primary exponent. He is often used as an example of a post-human god. Reception towards the character is positive and he has appeared and has been mentioned in various forms of media. Doctor Manhattan later appeared in the Before Watchmen comic book prequel, with his own individual issue miniseries.

In 2016, as part of DC Comics’ Rebirth relaunch, Manhattan became a major character in the DC Universe. He was revealed to be responsible for the Flashpoint event, creating The New 52 timeline in the process a factor that removed 10 years of history of the DC characters.[1] This led him to become one of the main characters in the Doomsday Clock miniseries, published from 2017 to 2019. In 2019, Manhattan also became a major character in HBO’s Watchmen. The comic book miniseries and the TV series served as alternate direct sequels to the original Watchmen graphic novel.[2]

Doctor Manhattan made his first live-action appearance in the 2009 film Watchmen played by Billy Crudup. He also appeared in the limited television series Watchmen on HBO, played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II with his original form played by Darrell Snedeger

#8: The Anti-Monitor

The Anti-Monitor is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.[1] He served as the main antagonist of the 1985 DC Comics miniseries Crisis on Infinite Earths and later appears as an enemy to the Green Lantern Corps and the Justice League.[2]

In 2009, Anti-Monitor was ranked as IGN’s 49th-greatest comic book Villain of all time.[3]

LaMonica Garrett portrayed the character as the main antagonist in the Arrowverse crossover “Crisis on Infinite Earths”

#7: Mister Mxyzptlk

Mister Mxyzptlk (/mɪksjɛzˈpɪtəlɪk/ miks-yez-PIT-əl-ik, /ˈmɪksɪlplɪk/), sometimes called Mxy, is a fictional impish character who appears in DC Comics’ Superman comic books, sometimes as a supervillain and other times as an antihero.

Mr. Mxyzptlk was created to appear in Superman #30 (September / October 1944), in the story “The Mysterious Mr. Mxyztplk” (the original spelling), by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Ira Yarborough.[1] But due to publishing lag time, the character saw print first in the Superman daily comic strip by writer Whitney Ellsworth and artist Wayne Boring.[2]

He is usually presented as a trickster, in the classical mythological sense, in that he possesses reality warping powers with which he enjoys tormenting Superman in a cartoonish way. In most of his appearances in DC Comics, he can be stopped only by tricking him into saying or spelling his own name backwards (Kltpzyxm – “kel-tip-zix-um”), which will return him to his home in the 5th dimension and keep him there for a minimum of ninety days.[3] However, this specific limitation of the character has been eliminated since the Crisis on Infinite Earths reboot, upon which the character leaves only when he willingly agrees to do so after meeting some conditions he sets, such as having Superman succeed in getting Mxyzptlk to paint his own face blue.[4]

The character appeared in live-action portrayed by Howie Mandel in the 1993 television series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. The character, renamed Mikhail Mxyzptlk, also appeared in the television series Smallville played by Trent Ford. Mxyzptlk appears in the television series Supergirl played by Peter Gadiot in the second season and by Thomas Lennon in the fifth season.
